Effect of Biotic and Abiotic Factors on the Epidemiological Index of Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994 (Monogenea) Parasitizing the Algerian Barbel Luciobarbus callensis (Cyprinidae) Inhabiting Foum-El-Khanga Dam (Souk-Ahras, Algeria)

Year 2021, Volume: 17 Issue: 4, 532 - 540, 01.12.2021

Abstract

Examination of 341 individuals of Luciobarbus callensis caught in Foum El Khanga Dam during the year 2015, allowed us to collect 2782 specimens of the parasitic species Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994. The statistical study of the epidemiological index distribution of D. heteromorphus shows that the parasitic infestation varies from one season to another. In contrast, the sex and size of L. callensis do not affect parasite infestation. Variations in the epidemiological index of D. heteromorphus concerning fifteen physicochemical water parameters were tested statistically. These variations are significant with temperature, salinity, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, phosphate, calcium, sulfate, hardness, turbidity, and electrical conductivity, however, no significant effect of the concentration of magnesium, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, and pH on these indexes according to the Pearson’s parametric test.

Biyotik ve Abiyotik Faktörlerin Foum-El-Khanga Barajı'nda (Souk-Ahras, Cezayir) Yaşayan Cezayir Barbeli Luciobarbus callensis (Cyprinidae) Paraziti Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994 (Monogenea) ‘nın Epidemiyolojik İndeksi Üzerindeki Etkisi

Year 2021, Volume: 17 Issue: 4, 532 - 540, 01.12.2021

Abstract

2015 yılında Foum El Khanga Barajı'nda yakalanan 341 Luciobarbus callensis bireyinin incelenmesi ile Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994 parazit türünden 2782 örnek toplandı. D. heteromorphus'un epidemiyolojik indeks dağılımının istatistiksel çalışması, parazit istilasının bir mevsimden diğerine değiştiğini gösterdi. Buna karşılık, L. callensis'in cinsiyeti ve boyutunun parazit istilasını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. On beş fizikokimyasal su parametresine ilişkin D. heteromorphus'un epidemiyolojik indeksindeki varyasyonlar istatistiksel olarak test edildi. Pearson'ın parametrik testine göre sıcaklık, tuzluluk, nitrat, nitrit, klorür, fosfat, kalsiyum, sülfat, sertlik, bulanıklık ve elektriksel iletkenlik açısından önemli olarak bulunurken magnezyum, çözünmüş oksijen, amonyum ve pH konsantrasyonunun bu indeksler üzerinde önemli bir etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
